11:15am — 11:55am // Future of Cybersecurity and Cyberwarfare

How will the federal government defend itself against future cyberthreats as attackers are seemingly one step ahead? What are the defense technologies it will implement - and what is the future — and plausibility — of adopting more offense cyber technologies? How will it work across sectors and borders to get the safeguards in place against the omnipresent web-based threats? This panel will take a look at tomorrow's government and the pressing challenges it will face protecting its and citizens' data and information from cyberattackers.

11:55am — 12:30pm // Managing and Securing the Data from the Internet of Things

The ecosystem of interconnected everyday objects is producing massive amounts of data, presenting huge challenges to those who work to analyze and manage the information. And with that data growing exponentially every day, securing the sensors and the information traversing the ecosystem will be a high priority for organizations leveraging the power of IoT. This panel will explore best practices for big data management and securing both the endpoints and the data against emerging threats. The conversation will also address privacy concerns and the policies needed today to best prepare for tomorrow's proliferation of Internet-connected devices.

The breach at the Office of Personnel Management, reputed to be the largest breach of government data ever, has focused the spotlight on the federal government’s cybersecurity woes like never before. The devastating hack touched off questions about the contractors and other third-party providers and the use of encryption and multi-factor to safeguard sensitive government data. So, where are we now three months after the big breach? Panelists will discuss whether the OPM hack was a true wake-up call for agencies and whether the government needs to take broader action to secure its data.

Data is perhaps the government’s most valuable nonhuman resource, but tapping its true potential requires both new technologies and a change in conventional thinking. Truly progressive agencies will not just collect data -- they will analyze, secure and share it when appropriate and use it to make decisions to drive forward the mission. This panel will explore successful big data and analytics implementations in government, with an emphasis on strategic thinking.

In this Spotlight Session, Paul Christman, Vice President for Federal at Dell Software, will present a holistic approach to converged security and insider threat mitigation.

Attendees will learn: the behavioral motivations behind insider threats; why a holistic approach is necessary for effective risk management; how a large organization leverages advanced analytics technologies to protect against insider threat.

In this Spotlight Session, Faisal Iqbal, CTO of Public Sector at Citrix, will present a vision for tackling data security in the evolving landscape of Government IT.
